Interesting take.
As a rule of thumb, what any reader will get out of a work is sensitively dependent on what they bring to it, since beyond the words-in-a-row blueprint the writer supplies to all identically, the construction materials are sourced locally.
A worked example of the process may be had by anyone comparing the high and low star rating reviews on any of my works, which Amazon will handily collate for one. Anyone contemplating the range who thinks, "It doesn't sound as if they read the same book," is quite right; or, more precisely, didn't experience the same book.

In Komarr, there is a scene where Miles pursuades Nikki to leave the bathroom by telling him that he once employed a ten-year-old girl. Was this covered in one of the earlier books? I am wracking my brain and can't seem to remember it, familiar as it sounds.

Hello! I loved the Sharing Knife and Chalion series, but Sharing Knife really resonated with me. It's such a unique world and I've never read one like it. While I'm sure you get these questions all the time, will you explore the Sharing Knife universe further? Perhaps maybe a 50 years into the future or something. I'd love to see how Dag and Fawn, and their children, change their world. Thanks!
